Lyrics
The moon lit up the night
After a freshly fallen snow
Silent footprints would tell
Secret places we would go
All the time we had together
We had to be alone
On this old country road.
Chorus:
This old country road
Where hearts long to go
To find the kind of magic
That only lovers get to know
On this old country road.
The snow melts, the creek sings
Through the whispers of the night
What they said was wrong
We made it our right
Now our love is measured
By everything that's grown
On this old country road.
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
Now I'd give anything
To have you here with me
But time has passed
And the wind has blown
On this old country road.
repeat chorus
Tag:
Oh the magic
Only lovers know
On this old country road.
